After watching Kansas lose six straight football games to single wing teams in the last three years the outlook for the next two games doesn't look overly bright.
Colorado, in Boulder's thin, chilly air, is almost unbeatable, as Oklahoma discovered last year. The Sooners were behind, 19-6 at the half but rallied to win. A Kansas loss to the Buffs, who run two thirds of their plays off the single wing and behind an unbalanced line, would not be a total surprise. But a successful season hinges on the Colorado game.
A big question now is, "How is Iowa State doing?" Not bad so far. The Cyclones have a new coach, Jim Myers, and a new offense—the single wing, naturally. Iowa State defeated Denver, 10-0 and tied favored Syracuse. 7-7.
There are really no great advantages to the T or single wing as compared to each other. However, because no more than one or two single wing teams appear on a T formation school's schedule in a given year that school is relatively unprepared to cope with the single wing.
Colorado comes out of the huddle into the T, then switches to the single wing two thirds of the time. The best defense would, of course, be to teach Kansas the single wing.
To do so would require dividing already limited practice time between two offenses thus being unable to master neither.
Chuck Mather said emphatically Monday that his squad would certainly work hard on a defense against Colorado this week. The Jayhawkers will engage in defensive drills today, work on offense Wednesday and slacken off a bit Thursday. The team leaves Kansas City, Mo. at 9 p.m. Friday for Denver where the Jayhawkers will have a 20-minute workout in Denver Stadium.
High ideals and ethics are very nice to have especially if you are not forced to put your ideals into practice.
The segregation problem has been faced squarely by coaches and athletic administrators in schools like Kansas and the great strides made toward solving it have been due largely to these men in athletics.
This school does not have as a primary mission the teaching of a new, better way of life to the people of the South.
We may deplore the segregation problem in the South but we cannot detach ourselves by refusing to deal with over one fourth of this country.
Those who criticized the KU football coach and athletic administration for putting up with segregation in the South would have the school officials duck the problem by withdrawing into a cocoon. We can do more to help solve the problem by facing it than by alienating a Southern populace that is pathetically wrong in its views.
Kansas Students Officiate Intramurals
Future athletic officials are trained in the physical education department by officiating intramural games.
Students in physical education who take a course in officiating must officiate 16 intramural games for their lab work.
Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education and recreation. teaches the course.
"We've had quite a few boys start working intrudmual games
and the following season they are working high school games," Mikkols said.
Mikols said all students interested in physical education who want to learn officiating should report to him. Students officiating and not taking part in an officiating class receive $1 a game.
Mikols said students officiate football, basketball, and softball games and anyone interested should contact him.

AMES, Iowa — (UP) — Jim Myers, obviously pleased with his surprising Iowa State Cyclones, today buckled down to the task of meeting Oklahoma, a team he believes deserves more than a mere "National" title.
Myers Pleased With Cyclone Grid Progress
Myers gave his players all the credit for Saturday's uphill 7-7 tie with highly-favored Syracuse and said "the boys just refused to lose."
Loss II Improvement
LINCOLN, Neb. (UP)—Nebraska
Coach Bill Jennings took an optimistic outlook Monday when he termed his team's 42-0 loss to Army
an "improvement."
42-0 Loss An 'Improvement'
Jennings, however, quickly added, "We are still a long way off." The comments followed showings of the Cadet-Cornhusker game films.
Sooners In Light Drills
NORMAN, Okla-(UP)—The flurriedllde Oklahoma Sooners continued cut-down practice sessions today with all but one of 13 stricken athletes back in togs.
Coach Bud Wilkinson, also a victim of the flu siege which fortunately struck during the only week in the fall the Sooners are idle, planned reduced workouts most of the week.
MANHATTAN — (UP) — Kansas State, minus leading rusher Gene Keady, today looked to Saturday's engagement with Nebraska, hopeful the senior 190 pounder's injured eye will respond to rest.
K-State Hopeful
Marshall In Cast; KU Injuries At New Peak
The Larned native was injured
Kansas' No. 1 quarterback, back Marshall, is in a cast after Saturday's knee injury. The Jayhawkers' No. 2 signal caller, Wally Strauch, also complained of a sore knee, but he is expected to be ready for Saturday's encounter with Colorado at Boulder.
KU's injury hit a season's high Monday after the Jayhawkers had absorbed a 6-34 loss to the Oregon State Beavers Saturday in Law-
rence.
John Wertzberger, No. 2 Kansas center, was out of uniform with an injured knee. Frank Gibson, all-conference tackle who injured his shoulder in the TCU game, is still out of pads. It is very doubtful that he will play against Colorado.
Paul Swoboda, junior guard, suffered a mild concussion against Oregon State, but is expected to be ready Saturday. Ervell Staab, another guard who has been out since early in the season, is still definitely not ready for action.
The Jayhawker first and second teams held only a light workout Monday and then watched films of
in Saturday's impressive 36-7 victory over Brigham Young. Coaches believe he will rejoin the squad by the middle of the week.
Anderson May Rejoin Tigers COLUMBIA, M. — (UP) — The news that halfback Bob Anderson may rejoin the team after being counted out for the season cheered the Missouri football squad Monday as it prepped for Texas A & M.
Anderson May Rejoin Tigers
Anderson, only a sophomore but considered one of the Tigers' top runners, was injured in a pre-season scrimmage and told by physicians to forego football for the season.
Showers Won't Soak Your Clothes,

the Colorado team. Coach Chuck Mather said the first two units would begin heavy workouts again today with a defensive practice against the Buffalooes' multiple offense.
